Login via the Control Panel

Each session has its own unique Display Screen and Facilitator Dashboard to manage the session. This ensures concurrent sessions running at the time can have independent Interactive Sessions displayed in each session.

For example, the Display Screen for ‘What Makes a Good Apiary Site?’ will only display content from that session, and content from the ‘The Basics of Honey Testing’ Facilitator Dashboard cannot be shown on this display screen.

The session status controls how the audience can view and interact with the session from their mobile device.

Audience Polling enables attendees to be surveyed on a number of pre-populated questions. Questions can either be pre-loaded, created on-the-fly, or pulled from Live Discussion and Submitted Questions.

Live Discussion can be used to create a social feed specific to a session. Comments from this discussion feed can be pushed to display screens and bookmarked. Facilitators can post highlighted messages as a moderator to spark a conversation or pose questions.
